"Speak."
Zhou Jin'an clenched the phone and stood up.
Qiao En happened to go to the kitchen to get a spoon for her soup and was unaware of who the call was from.
The Qiao matriarch wanted to speak, but before she could, she made a demand.
"First, release my son. Once Ah De is safely out, I will definitely tell you."
Zhou Jin'an could imagine that it must have been Qiao De who instructed his mother to say this.
He had said that he could set him free at any moment.
But he could also take that freedom away at any moment.
"Fine."
After Zhou Jin'an finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
"Release him."
Zhou Jin'an dialed Cheng Lu's number.
"Director Zhou, do you really intend to release that brat? If he gets out, he's sure to be trouble."
Zhou Jin'an's eyes darkened as he turned to look toward the kitchen, where Qiao En had found the spoon and was coming out.
Seeing him on the phone, she slowed her movements considerably, afraid of making a noise that would bother him.
